crop. Then following up in from
thirty to forty-five days later or
at least before turning out on the
range. A third spraying is help
ful if it can be worked into the
schedule.
What to use as a spray? There
is only one spray to use and in
cidentally, only one time to spray,
when the grubs are in the back
just before emerging. 5 roto
none mixed at the rate of 72
pounds per 100 gallons of water
sprayed on the backs with a
pressure of at least 200 pounds is
effective. It will take approxi
mately three-fourths gallon of
spray for each mature animal,
slightly less for younger animals,
Where only o few head of cattle
are kept, such as the family milk
cows, 5 rotonorie can be applied
as a dust, rubbing it throughly
into the hair on the back. This
method will take 3 to 4 ounces of
dust per cow.
For those livestockmen who
have been asking when the new
livestock brand books will be out,
a letter from the State Depart
ment of Agriculture informs us
that the printers have the-proof
run and it looks as if they will
be ready to begin mailing within
a short time. It will be necessary
to order these books from the
State Department of Agriculture,
Salem, Oregon if you wish a copy.
As springtime nears a sugges
tion to farm and townspeople
with home orchards is timely. It
is time to prune your orchard
trees. Pruning is not difficult
and it will pay. Just follow a few
simple rules.
Usually old home orchard trees
are too thick in their tops. Thin
out some of this brush. Limbs to
cut are those about the size of
your thumb; take out the weak,
leave the strong. Do this through
out the tree top. Thinning out
thick top branches follows the
same principles as thinning a
row of garden peas you get bet
ter fruit.
Water sprouts that are growing
up through the tree center should
also be removed. If the water
sprout is on a major limb, and a
limb is broken away or there is
an open space, leave it for a
fruiting branch.
The amount of brush to re
move in neglected trees may run
high as one-fourth to one-third
of all brandies of the size men
tioned. Usually it is not necessary to
cut branch tips; in fact, it is gen
erally bad practice except with
peaches. Even with peaches do
not attempt to cut back all the
brandies. Rather, 'the part to be
cut is the main branch terminal.
Still confused? Circular 425
"Pruning Suggestions for Fruit
Tires" available at this office
should help to explain further
details.
Traffic Fatalities
Higher Near Dark
When it starts to get dark, it's
time to drive and walk as if
your life depended upon it, con
cludes the secretary of state's
traffic safety division aftr a
look at Oregon traffic accident
records covering the first six
months of last year.
The division said accidents and
whtn daylight begins to fade and
fatalities climb sharply at 4 p. m.
traffic improvement approaches
the day's peak.
Accidents resulted in property
damage only fell off after 5
p. m. and declined steadily until
the following morning. But fatal
smash-ups reached the highest
point of the day between 6 and
7 p. m. and remained high until
lieation, "Sprinkler Irrigation"
point out.
The publication, Pacific North
west Bulletin Number 3 is a joint
effort of the extension services
in Oregon, Washington and Ida
ho. Copies are ' available from
the Morrow County Agents office.
The bulletin discusses pros and
cons of sprinkler irrigation, point
ing out some of its advantages
as well as the shortcomings.
Sprinklers, couplings, laterals,
screening and desilting, and
pumping plants are discussed in
some detail.
Among advantages pointed out
for sprinkling are: land leveling
is not necessary, available water
is put to better use; drainage
problems are reduced; erosion is
kept to a minimum; and ditches
and ditch cleaning are eliminat
ed. On the other hand, the publi
cation says sprinklers are high
priced in terms of the initial in
vestment; power costs are con
tinuous, moving laterals is a dis
agreeable and time-consuming
job. and wind effects water distribution.
